    This is something I'd been going to ask for. One related thing which
    needs some thought is how we combine extcon detection methods for
    hardware which uses multiple unrelated detection methods. One of the
    common examples for audio jacks is that you might have an ultra low
    power detection method for detecting if something is physically present
    in the jack and then use that to start up additional detection methods
    that can tell what that thing actually is. The two provide different
    pieces of the picture reported to userspace.

    With the ALSA and input accessory reporting methods we've got bitmasks
    so this can be implemented fairly naturally but with the ABI that we've
    got from Android here things aren't so easy as we need to go down to a
    single value. Perhaps some sort of bitmask to value translation layer?
